• How can I stop my computer freezes during disk defragment?

  When you try to run Disk Defragmenter, my pc freezes when defragmentation is 3%, on the c:\windows\system32\wucltui.dll.MUI file. I downloaded the software Microsoft Fix It, which stopped the computer freezes during the compression of the files old during a cleaning of the drive ("compress old files" isn't even an option more when you do a disk cleanup). The problem was significantly higher than earlier, gel when there are too many programs running. I did a lot of work on it, trying to return to normal, and although he is capable of multi - load again once, I still can't free space with the Disk Defrag. I tried almost everything... boot in safe mode and the closure of all firewalls and updates, I tried to disable restoring the system and running defragmentation again. I ran 'chkdsk' nothing works. I downloaded the registry cleaners, cleaned manually files unnecessary and much more. I don't know what more can be done, but I need the defrag to work. PLEASE HELP ME!

  I just discovered this problem on my HP Compaq husbands, don't know where it comes from! When I analyse it says there is no need to be defraged, and I'm not about to reinstall XP! He has 65% of free space, the only thing it's really about that is to play poker on NLOP and watching junk sports! NLOP works with microphone$ .net framework and they have just updated their site, could it have caused the problem?

  Can someone please provide a better answer?

  I just lost my entire C: drive on my desk and had to take, now it's and drive E:! Something to do with "XP Media Center Edition" that he made, personally I think it's inept technology who didn't know what he was doing because he forgot to install my Audio drivers and he's happy that I had saved some files is from another, so I installed them myself! Mine is a Dell.

  What would cause this happens in the first place?

  EDIT:

  Just did
  Chkdsk, I did some reading more and it worked, I now switched to this place so far!

• Why Chkdsk /f. does not I can't use disk defrag because of this error

  Disk defragmentation says to run Chkdsk.  Computer does not recognize that this program will not work

  Hi Peter,.
  Try this:

  System Cleanup

  I would recommend making cleaning systems. (I did do at least once a month, more if I did a lot of Assembly and disassembly) Disk Clean up (best scan-disk) and Defrag.
  To make disk cleanup upward:
  On the left, click on "Start" then "all programs" then "Accessories" then "system tools."
  Here you can see the Disk Clean Up and Disk Defrag
  Click on disk clean up.
  SELECT which drive you want to clean, and then click 'OK' (after the process is over, come back and go to the next drive)
  You will see "calculate" let the work process and a screen will appear that has several folders and boxes beside them... check everything, unless there is something specific in one of the folders that you want to keep. " (Everything here was supposed to delete on its own)
  You see then "total amount of space that you win' click 'OK' and it will ask you if you want to remove files.
  Click Yes and the beginning of the process. Do this for all the partitions on your disk.
  Fragment of disks:
  Do the same above, but select Disk Defragmenter.
  You can see the percentage of your disks are fragmented.
  Then click "Scan now" ending
  Click on "defragment the disk)
  Restart the system.

  Hope this helps,

• How to re - install programs ScanDisc and missing disk defrag

  I use Windows XP Professional and it lacks disk defrag and scan disk programs. How can I reinstall them?  I have the original installation disc if it is what is needed.

  Defrag

  Navigate to c:\Windows\Inf.

  Find the file called dfrg.inf.  (This is a hidden folder, so you will need to go to tools > Folder Options > view > check "Show Hidden files and folders".)

  Right-click on the file and select "install".

  Not sure about chkdsk if... That's what you mean by right ScanDisk?  XP ScanDisk is not provided.

• How to choose the disk defrag for several devices in windows? Using Norton 360 do now.

  Hello.

  I was wondering if in Win XP or Vista, is there a way to disk defragment multiple devices?

  I go in disk defrag at the moment and can only do one disc at a time. I have run more than one player internal (and some external drives). So I need a bit of an automated process to turn it on and leave it alone. I use this option in Norton 360, it works fine as far as I can tell. But I guess that a windows application is more accurate or complete.

  Dual boot: Xp Home Edition 32-bit/Vista Home Premium 32-bit, portable: Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

  Thank you.

• Disk defrag works not, taskmanager no opening, very slow downing load anything

  I've had problems with my computer for a while now and I don't know what else to do now, I'm trying this.  I sent this computer in Bridge 2 times now and this looks at what could be the third if I can't get all the answers.  The problems I have been having always start when I first try to defrag my computer.  It takes forever to defragment. I started it at 09:00 and it was not yet done at 20:00. I finally stopped him at 21:00 and it just sitting there like it was stuck.  now my task manager does not open and I can't get this thing to download something, including the microsoft fixit tools.  I am very frustrated.  I downloaded all execept serivce Pack 2 updates and this thing is everything to date.  any help would be great.

  Installation of the Service Pack 2 - that is where I would start. You say that you have downloaded all the updatesexcept this one, so with that one being later, it should correct a little (apart from a virus, etc.). An application that will help you realize what lack us isBelarc Advisor . I love it, because it produces a file html (on your own computer), and once it loads in your browser, you can print it out and have a list of all installed on your computer - and it includes what Microsoft Updates are installed and missing, with the version numbers for all of this. And it's free. :-)

  I'll make sure that Windows Defender runs, as a bare minimum (I thought Windows Security Essentials, being in agreement, but I uninstalled it because it made my Vista boot slowly and returned to the Defender). Vista is quite safe, however. If you buy a commercial product, I recommend Kaspersky (I don't use it myself, because I download a lot and I'm careful, but my mother has it on his computer and she's in all Big Fish Games and so on and got a nasty on her own a bit... virus) Until Kasperky was installed and took care of that - now it catches everything (so far)).

  Virus and others can make Windows run slowly. I've seen all kinds - some file after file replication, increasing the number and size of the files, the names of some really stealth and switching. But if it is not a virus that slows down your computer, it is really likely to be fragmented files. In this case, I would recommend Auslogics Disk Defrag . It's free and FAST.  You can defragment with a new and also OPTIMIZE files so that things run faster. Any defragger will take more time with the bigger hard drives. Windows Defrag takes too long. So doesn't the defragmenter in Advanced SystemCare 3(so uncheck the Defragmenter option if you run this, BUT I recommend highly this program because it will clean a lot of things for the better - remember do not check the boxes in the window popup resulting for the module of security... unless you know what you're doing , because not all these (Browser Helper Objects, etc.) are a problem. This program also includes a fixer shortcut, an application that allows you to see what programs are running at startup and much more. One of the best I've seen, and I used it for a few years now without a problem.

  These last two linked above will go a long way toward acceleration and optimization of your system. I run these two first and then restart. SystemCare has three main sections of things that can be run - she is really well organized. It "takes the trash", in other words. :-) It will get rid of unwanted files and increase the speed and solve common registry problems (something I was initially uncertain about when I got it, but after a few years, it was no concern - it cleans things upwards, and unlike other programs of registry).

  Another possibility: according to how you have set aside for virtual memory, if you get close to maxing out your hard disk space, you might find yourself in a situation where the computer is both need to write a lot on the drive and need more space, or space dedicated to virtual memory (I call it "the garbage area" where she must write and write about things older in this area) (as things are processed - this is temporary memory). Bottom line: If you are short on space and don't know what to do about virtual memory (and people use virtual memory to compensate for the fact that they do not have a lot of RAM |) Memory to play with), then let the system choose automatically the drive. To set it, you go to computer (aka My), right click and select Properties, and then when the system properties, click Advanced, then settings of Performance, then advanced once, then, virtual memory, select change. You can select automatic for ALL your drives, OR that the management system of the size for the selected drive. All readers do not have to have it, but whatever you select whether by car, it will create this sandbox of virtual memory paging on the same drive. Editing plan that will be used by the system to write things. Check the recommended size it compared to what is currently assigned. To play it safe, go with the recommended or let the system handle. Virtual memory can increase the speed and performance.

  I hope that these things help with some of your speed issues.

  (Note: the not not opening Task Manager, tells me that it might be a virus on your system, in which case you could look in these free programs:EMCO Maleware Destroyer andEmsisoft Anti-Malware (formerly A2 Squared) (full analysis is thorough and takes some time, but there is a quick analysis).) Lavasoft Adware, SpwareBlaster, Spybot Search & Destroy are also good.

• View a graphical representation of the Vista disk defragment process like XP only?

  Then use disk defragment, can you defrag more then one drive at a time.

  The defragmentation occurs for all hard drives connected only.

  You can open Disk Defragmenter, to start defragmentation. When the process is happening on a particular partition, you can stop it and she will continue with the next partition.
  But the process cannot operate in parallel; He will perform a defrag each only.

  "The drive has 318 439 Go free."
  My understanding is Win7 Defragmenter needs 15% free space and you

  Normally, you would get a message saying that you have enough free space, but
